Subject: any subject (the example attached is about Exponential Growth and Decay)
This activity (pdf here) is another way of bringing diversity to drill/textbook exercises. There are many ways of playing bingo in the classroom, but here is how I do it.
(1) Hand out an empty grid to every student.
(2) Project all the answers on the board.
(3) Have students fill up their grid randomly with the answers.
(4) Then project questions one by one. When students solve the questions, they will look at their grid and cross out the box where the answer is. The winner is the first student to get a line, a column, or a diagonal complete. You may want to have a little price for the winner.
Notes:
The setup takes a little long, but it allows students to all have a different grid when the game is played.
As students place the answers in the grid, it is crucial that they are focused and methodical. If not, some students will have an empty box and won't know which answer they missed.
Even though there are 24 squares, you don't need to prepare more than about 12 questions as there will "always" be a student who gets a bingo before that. For each question, I suggest to have the correct answer and a wrong answer. It is an important to add wrong answers that are credible for each question.
